as far as I am aware I am the administrator of my machine, my hard drives have space left, and I haven't write protected anything?

this happens when trying to create an exe. it then doesn't complete 🙁

I think its my crappy anitvirus I've had problems with before. I really need to get rid of this thing, it simply wont let you develop your own code! unknown dev=virus apparently!

just a thought!

has SynthMaker been thoroughly checked for the Win32.Induc delphi virus ? half the delphi programmers round the world have been happily developing stuff and haven't realized they had it and have passed it merrily on to all and sundry!

I've had it a few times through plugins and libraries i use in another dev environment, nobodies fault really and the plugin/libs devs are recompiling replacements 🙂

I think it took the delphi peeps by surprise 😉 It is not a severe virus,it only replicates itself and seemingly does no other harm but it is enough to kick many anti-virus apps.It only infects Delphi and Delphi based apps so i'm told

I expect Malc and co already know about it and have made sure they are safe but hey you never know 🙂

Best Regards

Are you running Windows 7?

My wife's laptop was 'upgraded' (scare-quotes mandatory) to W7 and ever since she is told in all kinds of circumstances that she lacks permission/access to do things even though her user profile is set up as an administrator.

yes its happening to lots of ppl on laptops with Windows(Big Brother)7 oddson. one way i found of stopping it was to turn off UAC and i used the following tutorial to do so http://www.petri.co.il/disable-uac-in-windows-7.htm

that suited me as the only user of the machine but that won't be any good if other ppl use the lappy and have accounts

so maybe you should check if the (hidden) built in admin account is causing the problem! a lot of folk do not know its even there! To do so, run the command promt as admin and type the following. net user administrator /active:yes

it will tell you "command completed successfully". log out and you should see the hidden account and if your wife has an admin account set up also,then you should see two admin accounts! the now unhidden one is not pass worded.

if thats the problem then your wife should take over that one and delete her old one 🙂 or incase you want to hide the account again its the same ritual with the net user administrator /active:no command

thats been the problem on a few win7 laptops i've used lately! hope it's a help

Best Regards
